So yesterday, i was in the office at work for 50 mins. My blood pressure shot up. Over 24 hours later, I still feel like my heart is kind of racing and all. Any tips on getting it back down?

Did you check your blood pressure while you were in the office?

No. It was my work office, and there's no way to check there. I felt it spike and it hasn't gone down much. I think I just got too stressed. :(

I think it's important you at least check it and/or contact your dr. It def sounds like it's just stress but it's always better to be safe than sorry. Good luck.

Usually you can't "feel" your blood pressure spike. It's actually called the silent killer for that reason. Maybe your heart was racing, etc.? It sounds like a stress reaction vs. a blood pressure spike. Next time you feel that way you should actually check it.
It's likely that what you're feeling is something other than your blood pressure. Either way, checking your blood pressure when you experience those symptoms will let you know for sure! And then you'll be able to give your doctor exact information (actual blood pressure numbers & other symptoms) to help her figure out what is going on and how to treat you. Hope you feel better!
